Through our daily meals He is calling us to rejoice, to keep holiday in the midst of our working day.

One who loves his community destroys community; one who loves its members builds community.

Where God tears great gaps we should not try to fill them with human words.

We are so afraid of silence that we chase ourselves from one event to the next in order not to have to spend a moment alone with ourselves, in order not to have to look at ourselves in the mirror.

Discipleship means adherence to Christ and, because Christ is the object of that adherence, it must take the form of discipleship. An abstract theology, a doctrinal system, a general religious knowledge of the subject of grace or the forgiveness of sins, render discipleship superfluous, and in fact exclude any idea of discipleship whatsoever, and are essentially inimical to the whole conception of following Christ....Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

The church is not a religious community of worshippers of Christ but is Christ himself who has taken form among people.

Often we combat our evil thoughts most effectively if we absolutely refuse to allow them to be expressed in words.
